Six week old Lilly was saved from a life in a Coney Island freak show thanks to an animal-lover Southerner who paid $4K for the pooch.

Allyson Siegel outbid a Brooklyn freak show operator to buy the pup because she couldn't bear the thought of the Chihuahua-terrier mix spending the rest of his years at the sideshow that features disfigured animals.

Otherwise healthy, the puppy was born in a litter of six.

Siegel plans to spend an additional $2,000 to have the extra appendage removed. The fifth leg, which trips Lilly as she tries to walk, hangs limply between the puppy's two back legs.

"She's beautiful, she's not a freak, she's a normal little puppy dog and she should be just like all the others," Lilly’s new owner said.
